ICA Fluor Wins $100M Mexico Nitrogen Injection Plant Project
Irving, TX - ICA Fluor, the industrial engineering and construction subsidiary of Fluor Corporation and Empresas ICA, S.A.B. de C.V. , announced recently that it has been awarded a $100M (USD) contract with Energía Costa Azul, S. de R.L. de C.V, a subsidiary of Sempra LNG, for the construction of a nitrogen injection plant and a power generation facility. The project will be located within the Energía Costa Azul liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification terminal north of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. The full $100M will be booked in the first quarter of 2008.
ICA Fluor will perform engineering, procurement, construction and start-up of the nitrogen injection plant with an estimated 22-month schedule. The completed plant will produce up to 18 million standard cubic feet of nitrogen per day. The facility will allow greater flexibility and a wider range of gas imports to the Energía Costa Azul receipt terminal. The availability of the nitrogen injection process ensures that all the gas transported from the terminal conforms to North American standards.
The project also includes the construction of a 26-megawatt power generation facility to complement the existing capacity at the plant. The completed project will comply with stringent international emissions and environmental standards.
"We are pleased with this opportunity to support Sempra LNG with its continuing investment in Mexico and we are looking to repeat the success we had at Sempra Generation's Termoelectrica de Mexicali natural gas fueled power plant project," said Juan Carlos Santos, Director General, ICA Fluor. "This new project award confirms ICA Fluor's leadership in the LNG and power sectors in Mexico."
